The on-set armourer shouted ‘Cold gun!’ (when it wasn’t) and gave the gun to the assistant director, who was supposed to check it and failed to do so. Baldwin had every reason to expect he had been handed a ‘safed’ gun.
It’s neither usual nor reasonable to hold him responsible for the fuck ups of other people. Someone needs to be charged for this, but it ain’t Baldwin.

Utter bullshit.
The person who fires a gun is responsible for the outcome. I DEFY you to find any legal precidence otherwise.
Sure the armorer will have culpability - but the guy connected to the finger on the trigger is responsible.
I feel bad for all involved - but Mr Baldwin fucked up and MUST be held accountable.
"Gee - I thought it was unloaded/wasn' t real" is not a valid defense.
I find your lack.of commitment to responsibility shocking.
